Needs From: Volunteer NJ!

Home Friends is a visitor program for older adults or people with limiting health conditions. This program was created in 1987 in response to a growing need for companionship and support for home-based older adults in Princeton and nearby communities.

Volunteers can do a variety of things during weekly home visits such as: walk together, read and sort mail, exchange stories about life experiences, or pursue mutually shared interests. Some volunteers bring library books, share a movie, help with technology, or work in the garden together.

Home Friends was designed to complement and support, rather than replace, the role of family and paid caregivers.

Once matched with an older adult, we ask that you meet at least one hour a week to build a good relationship that the person can rely on. 

Those who are bilingual or multilingual are greatly encouraged to apply. This opportunity is best suited for individuals over 40 years old and those with flexibility during the work week.

For one week in August, children ages 7-17 from the New Jersey and Philadelphia area can attend Camp Bright Feathers.  Camp Bright Feathers is dedicated to serving children and teens affected by HIV/AIDS and/or violence through a nurturing overnight camp program that focuses on improving the health, well-being and self-sufficiency of all.   Camp Bright Feathers provides a stress-free, fun, recreational camp in the woods for these children that are dealing with an assortment of issues back at home.  It’s a chance for these children to be just kids.

The camp is held at YMCA of the Pines (Formerly known as Camp Ockanickon) which is located in Medford, New Jersey.  The camp sits on over 800 acres in the heart of the pine barons.   The camp has two man made lakes where the children can go swimming, boating, and fishing.  The campers also participate in land sports, arts and crafts, nature, horseback riding, hiking, tractor rides, campfires, talent show, a dance, and karaoke. The older campers get a chance to enjoy the climbing wall, and zip line.  Each dinner has a theme were the campers and staff dress up to win a prize.  Tuesday night the camp is treated to an outside entertainment. Wednesday evening the camp comes together for its talent show.  The camp comes together on Thursday for its special event and finishes the day with the traditional camp dance.  Then on Friday the campers and staff finish with some extra activities and a last meal together.  Volunteers get an opportunity to teach their talents to the campers and introduce some cools things to campers.  Another great things is that you get to do some cool activities with the campers.  Gives you an opportunity to not only teach but you get to enjoy cool activities.  Maybe even an activity you always wanted to try. 

The camp is run by a mixture of new and long time veteran counselors.   Almost all of the volunteers use personal vacation time to be at camp.  The staff go through several training (Giving up additional personal free time) to ensure that they can provide a fun and safe time for the campers.  Each individual brings their own individual talents and expertise to help provide a memorable experience for each child.  Now in our 34th year, Camp Bright Feathers has had the pleasure of providing a wonderful experience to over 3,200 campers and look forward to continuing this experience for many more years.

We hope to see you at camp this summer for a life changing event for both you and the campers.

Each year, obtaining critical school supplies for their children is a significant challenge for thousands of ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained) families and those living in poverty.  This issue has been made more difficult by the pandemic, where ALICE was already navigating life without a safety net and one crisis away from financial despair. Even with the uncertainty of how children will return to school this fall, children need supplies to be able to begin school ready to learn.

Schools and local non-profit organizations serving thousands of students in our communities are seeing significant increases in need for assistance for struggling families – for food, access to technology and for basic school supplies. This summer, United Way’s Tools for School is looking to provide packed backpacks for local students through community and corporate donations.

Attention TEENS! **PLEASE NOTE** Since the teens are the ones who will be volunteering with this program, I need to hear from them directly, not from the parents/guardians.  The teens are the ones who need to reach out to me to request an application. 

Applications for the RISE program are almost ready ; please have teens who are interested in volunteering this Summer, reach out to me directly to request an application.  The teens need to do this themselves, not parents or guardians.

RISE (Reflections InterACTive Summer Experience)  is the spinoff of the Reflections school year program, which addresses a variety of issues through the use of improvisational theatre.

This is a FREE program, funded by the County of Bergen.

Teens can earn volunteer hours and acquire leadership skills and have fun, all at the same time.

This Summer,  RISE 2026 will be on Tuesday nights, starting  on July 7th and will run until August 25th.

TIME: 5:45pm-7:45pm

WHERE: 1 Bergen County Plaza – Hackensack, NJ

THIS IS A DROP IN PROGRAM – THIS MEANS THAT RISE CAST MEMBERS ATTEND WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND EACH WEEK.

We  will also have other opportunities for RISE participants to earn volunteer hours by attending workshops that we will be leading. This will be explained to them once they are part of the RISE program. Again, this is on a “drop in“ basis, in that cast members attend the events that meet their availability.

To be part of RISE 2026, one needs to have just finished 8th grade, all the way to just graduating high school.

They also must be Bergen County residents.

Help United Way by creating Spring Cleaning Kits and/or children's Snack Kits for local ALICE families and those in shelters.  This is a great way to "Spring into Action" and help give families a fresh and clean start this spring!

United Way is partnering with local shelters and food pantries to distribute the kits to families in the shelter, those transitioning to permanent housing and those who are struggling in our community.

When you register, you will receive a flyer with information about what to put in each kind of kit, options for partner organizations receiving the kits and some fun extras to personalize your kits!

This project is designed to take place April through May, so that kits can be distributed to families this spring.

Many thanks for your interest and look for your flyer soon!

This spring is the perfect time to take action to assist ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families who work hard in our community, but who struggle financially and are one crisis or emergency away from falling into poverty.

As part of this year's National Volunteer Month (April) and to promote volunteerism that has a direct impact in our community, United Way of Northern New Jersey is offering a volunteer project to assist families with critical essential items for their well-being.

Volunteers are asked to create Care Kits that include any (or all) of the following essential needs for families:

* Shampoo/Conditioner

* Soap

* Deodorant

* Toothpaste/Toothbrushes

* Feminine Hygiene products

* Home cleaning products (paper towels, dish soap, household cleaner, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.)

Items can be full-size or travel-size (which works better in shelter or transitional housing situations) and can be packed in Ziplock types of bags or in any type of reusable bags.

Another option for volunteers is to create a Baby Care Kit - which would include any type of baby care items such as:  diapers, wipes, baby shampoo and baby wash, towels, bottles, clothes, powder formula, toys and anything else that would be helpful for new parents in need.

We are aiming to have the Care Kits ready for distribution to our ALICE clients and those of our partner nonprofit organizations by Friday, April 28, 2023, but we can accept the Care Kits any time this spring.

United Way would like to recognize and thank all volunteers participating in this project, so if you register to participate, please take photos of your work and the kits, so that we can share your efforts on social media and thank you publicly for Taking Action for ALICE Families this spring!

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Lisa Galonardo at lisa.galonardo@unitedwaynnj.org.

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your time and support of ALICE families in our community!!

Volunteers are the lifeblood of United Way and our programs, sharing their valuable time, talents, expertise, and caring.  We wanted to show our volunteers how much they mean to us and to our community and YOU can help!  Use your artistic talents and imagination to create cards to thank volunteers and let them know how much their volunteer service is valued.

Make one card or many cards - you decide!  Please include a message of thanks and a nice picture, graphic or drawing.  Here are some examples of kind messages of appreciation:

* Thank you for volunteering and showing the world your kind heart.

* Your kindness is the spark that lights up our community.  Thank you for giving your time, energy, and heart so generously - you truly made a difference.

* Volunteers like you prove that the most valuable gift is not money or possessions, but the willingness to serve others with love and compassion.

* Because of your dedication, hope feels closer, smiles shine brighter, and challenges seem smaller.  Thank you for being a beacon of goodness.

* You didn't just give your time - you gave a piece of your heart.  And that's what makes your contribution priceless.

* The world needs more people like you - people who see a need and step forward without hesitation. Thank you for inspiring us all.

* Your selflessness is a reminder that one person's effort can ripple out and change countless lives.  We are deeply grateful for you.

* You are proof that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they care enough to act. Thank you for being extraordinary.

Please send your cards to us at:

Join United Way’s Disaster Volunteer Corp.

For local residents looking to help the community during challenging times, there are a variety of ways volunteers can make a difference. 

Local organizations work hard to respond during times of disaster and provide critical services safely to those most in need in our community.  The needs will change over time and we need individuals ready to quickly fill new volunteer needs.

As part of the UWNNJ Disaster Volunteer Corps and you will be among the first to be notified as new needs arise in Morris County. And, if willing, you can be ready to “deploy” where most needed. 

Sign up TODAY and we will send you updates about local volunteer needs in our region, specific volunteer opportunities and information on how you can with preparation activities.  Thank you!

Discovering the wonder of how something works can be the spark that ignites a child’s enthusiasm for learning. The world of science provides unlimited potential.  In the time it takes to have lunch, employees can create a STEM kit and help light that spark in a child’s imagination!

A STEM kit is comprised of a book, supplemental materials and all of the items necessary to complete an age appropriate science experiment.  STEM kits give teachers, child care workers and parents ready-to-use tools to unlock the possibilities for a child’s future in science, math and related fields.

This is a fun and interesting team-building project and has a long-term positive impact for children in our community.

2026 Foodstock

Even before any disaster or crisis hits, food security can be a significant issue for ALICE®  (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and those in poverty. ALICE was already navigating life without a safety net and was one crisis away from financial despair. The government shutdown and suspension of SNAP (food assistance) benefits is that crisis, creating a significant increase in food insecurity while pantries are already at capacity and experiencing shortages.

In response to this impact of the SNAP emergency, United Way is taking action and encouraging people and groups to collect needed items for local food banks/pantries. While Foodstock is a year-round project, we are strongly promoting its expansion during this critical timeframe, given the critical need right now.  This will help ensure ALICE and poverty-level households have enough food while the SNAP program is on hold. 

How to Help

Please sign up to support local food banks/pantries by running a collection drive or contributing food to YOUR local pantry. 

To sign up, respond as an individual or as a team using the buttons to your right. Submit your name and email address—all other requested information is optional—and that’s it!

Once you’ve registered, please check out food pantry information and the types of foods most needed right now in the following counties:

Somerset County: Somerset County Emergency Food Box Needs     (Food Assistance | Somerset County)

Morris County:  Donate Food - Interfaith Food Pantry Network

Sussex County:    food-pantry-update.pdf

Warren County:  Food Bank

Essex County:  Essex-County-Food-Pantries-pdf.pdf

You can also check out the Foodstock flyer, which contains all you need to get started such as a list of participating pantries in our five-county region, needed pantry items, and ideas for getting others involved in this effort.

Please make sure to connect directly with the local food pantry you plan to deliver your food donations to in advance of going there.  Also, please consider making a financial donation to your local pantry to support their efforts to help your neighbors in need.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of struggling families, children, seniors and those with disabilities in need of food throughout northern New Jersey!

Kindergarten is the start of a formal school environment for many children.  United Way, as part of our United In Care program, encourages school-readiness and early literacy.  Through this effort, we would like each child at one of our many partner preschools to get a card or letter of encouragement that creates excitement about entering kindergarten.

Volunteering for this project is easy and can be done by ANYONE!  Simply make a card or write a short note of support and encouragement for a new kindergartener.  You can include a favorite memory about your own kindergarten experience or perhaps the titles of your favorite children's books.  Please send your card/letter to United Way of Northern New Jersey at P.O. Box 6835, Bridgewater, NJ  08807 - Attn. Cards for Kindergarten. 

This project can be done by a family, an individual, a Girl Scout or Boy Scout troop, service club or any other type of group.  Sign up TODAY and start making a nice card to encourage continued learning for children entering kindergarten.

United Way of Northern New Jersey works to build a love of reading and early literacy among children from ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and those struggling financially.  One way we do this is providing Reading Bags to children who do not have access to books and other learning materials in their homes. 

You can help by becoming a Book Buddy and providing one or more Reading Bags for a local child.  Simply sign up, then feel free to either run a drive to collect the items needed for the bags or build your own Reading Kit(s) to donate.

Reading Bags can include: 

The Basics:  1-3 new children's books (for ages 2 1/2 to 6 years), a pack of crayons, an activity or coloring book, a bookmark, and a small inspirational card or note (no last names)

Enhancements (one or more of the following):  a small new stuffed animal or pillow, a small snack pack, flash cards with letters, etc.

Items can be shared in reusable bags, decorated canvas bags or drawstring bags.  New books in multiple languages are also welcomed.

Thank you for helping to promote early literacy and the love of reading with young readers!

Volunteer will help organize and promote local fundraisers and events.  Volunteer can be involved with marketing strategy and implementation, database utilization, mail and telephone campaigns.

Would involve flexibility in scheduling and self motivation.

Every year in New Jersey, 341,000 tons of prepared food goes to waste, while 994,800 New Jersey residents don’t have enough food to eat. Share My Meals is closing the gap between food waste and hunger by mobilizing volunteers to recover nutritious surplus meals from commercial kitchens and deliver them to local nonprofits that support individuals in need.

About the opportunity: Share My Meals is looking for dedicated volunteers to pick up meal donations from a corporate kitchen in Roseland on Fridays starting at 1:15pm and deliver them to a nonprofit organization in Morristown (~20 minute drive).

We are looking to build a small group of volunteers who would be willing to support this route on a regular basis starting as soon as possible.

In order to adhere to food safety guidelines, Share My Meals provides all necessary equipment (i.e. insulated bags) to transport food donations safely and requires volunteers to track pick-up and delivery route start and end times using our smart phone app.

Volunteer Requirements:

Volunteers are asked to complete Share My Meals onboarding and app and food safety training before volunteering.

Please note: This is not a one-time volunteer opportunity; we are looking for volunteers who are available to support the meal delivery program through the year.
